Lorry drivers given safety mirrors to save lives.











London’s lorry drivers are soon to be given new mirrors, to help lower the amount of deaths of London’s cyclists.
Transport for London, intend to give out the apparatus later on this week, with an astounding cost of £40,000. The device will be handed to lorry drivers in the capital.
David Brown, managing director of surface Tfl, said; “Our new cycle safety campaign is designed to give both cyclists and goods vehicle drivers the tools they need to be safe and seen in London’s roads.”
The mayor Ken Livingstone later added; “Cycling in London is getting much safer, but one issue, that has been very difficult to address until now, is the fact more than half of cyclists fatalities on the capital’s roads involve a collision with a goods vehicle. These safety lenses are a simple measure that will help drivers to see cyclists.”
